About preventive visit, new patient age 40 to 64
CPT 99386 is an annual preventive exam for a new patient aged 40 to 64: history, examination, risk counseling and ordering of screening tests such as cholesterol, colon cancer screening and mammography. Insured patients usually pay nothing for the visit itself under preventive-care rules; the cash price applies to everyone else.
What the price covers
The visit only. Laboratory tests, an ECG, vaccines and any imaging are separate codes. A problem raised during the visit may be billed as a second, problem-oriented visit on top of the preventive one.
Why prices vary
